DISCOVERING WAYS TO CONSUME BETTER WITH PERFORMANCES, TALKS AND ARTWORKS — 1. KONGRESS FÜR SOZIALEN KONSUM AT GOLDENES HAUS

DISCOVERING WAYS TO CONSUME BETTER WITH PERFORMANCES, TALKS AND ARTWORKS — 1. KONGRESS FÜR SOZIALEN KONSUM AT GOLDENES HAUS

Consumption: we all do it, every day. But what if we could change our buying behavior to create a positive social impact? Offering answers to this question that are both useful and playful is the 1. Kongress für sozialen Konsum, running on Holzmarktstraße in Mitte until 18.10.2021. The two-week conference is organized by share, a Berlin-based impact brand which has developed a range of everyday items allowing you to do good while shopping by automatically supporting a social project with each item you buy. The program is packed full of ideas for how you can consume more responsibly: this Friday, for instance, you can discover how to go green when searching online with a talk with Génica Schäfgen from search engine Ecosia. Next week there will be themed days such as “Fashion Hilft” (14.10) which features two panel talks on equipping the fashion world to be sustainable, plus a catwalk show from upcycling designer Melisa Minca. But the line-up isn’t just panels and lectures: there is also stand-up comedy on the topic of consumption ethics with Passun Azhand and Erika Ratcliffe (11.10) and even a round of chessboxing this Saturday (09.10).

Fittingly, the venue for all this is the so-called “Goldenes Haus”, a former branch of GDR supermarket Konsum which has since functioned as an event space and has now been given a shiny gold-foil facade. As part of the “Kunst Hilft” part of the program, the building will also host artworks dealing with the topic of modern-day consumerism plus film screenings on the “Filmfest-Tag” on 18.10. Time to head to the Goldenes Haus!

OUMPH! — VEGAN FOOD BRAND COMES TO BERLIN WITH A POP-UP VEGAN SPÄTI

OUMPH! — VEGAN FOOD BRAND COMES TO BERLIN WITH A POP-UP VEGAN SPÄTI

A quick trip to the Späti to get plant-based burger patties for a midnight snack? This has always been difficult in Berlin, but now there is a remedy for hungry vegetarians, vegans and flexitarians: the Swedish food brand Oumph! has arrived in Germany for a Späti pop-up in Mitte starting 06.09.2021. Here you’ll have the opportunity to stop by and try out the range, which includes free tasters of the Oumph! burger and taco variant as well as discounted Plant Meat products. The vision of the Swedish brand is simple: to create delicious, tasty, purely plant-based foods that help protect the climate. The selection includes six different frozen products – both seasoned and unseasoned – including The Pulled Oumph!, made from soy protein, and the “Oumph! Kebab”. All the versions can be fried, boiled or grilled depending on the dish or your desires, while the soy itself is GM-free and sourced from the Danube region. It’s no surprise that the founder of the brand is chef and activist Anders Ankan Lindén: for him the name “Oumph” reflects an attitude towards life and, above all, delicious food. This is something you just need to try – so let’s Oumph!

METABOLIC RIFT FROM ATONAL — MULTI-SENSORY WORKS, KINETIC SCULPTURES AND LIVE CONCERTS AT KRAFTWERK

METABOLIC RIFT FROM ATONAL — MULTI-SENSORY WORKS, KINETIC SCULPTURES AND LIVE CONCERTS AT KRAFTWERK

How close are we to living in a dystopian world? A group of internationally acclaimed visual artists and musicians pose and answer this very question during Atonal’s multi-part concert series and exhibition Metabolic Rift. In place of the usual August festival, Atonal is returning to the iconic Kraftwerk complex with an invitation for the public to immerse themselves in a series of over 20 site-specific works hidden throughout the haunting structure. As part of the exhibition, attendees will be the first to set foot inside the eerie, shuttered club spaces since their Covid-induced closure. Hidden basement rooms never before accessible to the general public host multi-channel sounds that echo among kinetic sculptures, futuristic cityscapes and floor-to-ceiling multi-sensory works.

Between the building’s passages, projections of stop-motion psychedelic imagery flash like hallucinations, guiding you on a disoriented journey into transient works that appear and disappear just as quickly. You are left with lingering and unsettling questions about our existence. In addition to the interdisciplinary works on show, world-premiere A/V performances and site-specific works will take place in the form of ticketed concerts. The lineup features renowned composers and musicians including Actress, Caterina Barbieri, Klein, Space Afrika, Tim Hecker and Ziúr. The building itself is worth a visit and the radiating feelings of solitude make it the perfect place for some mid-performance introspection.

BERLIN FOOD WEEK — FESTIVAL OF CUISINE RETURNS WITH SUSTAINABLE FINE DINING EVENTS AND A HAMBURG CHEF IN BERLIN

BERLIN FOOD WEEK — FESTIVAL OF CUISINE RETURNS WITH SUSTAINABLE FINE DINING EVENTS AND A HAMBURG CHEF IN BERLIN

Open lasagne topped with smoked paprika foam, Brandenburg-inspired pepper and kohlrabi risotto, and Oberhavel peaches served with honey ice cream and plum jelly. If dishes like these get your palate stimulated and your stomach rumbling, this year’s Berlin Food Week (20–26.09.2021) is not to be missed. After a Covid-enforced break last year, the food festival is back with a program of dining, events and markets that focus on the most pressing of topics: sustainability and regionality. A highlight is bound to be the Küchentausch series, where prominent chefs swap their kitchens for the day. On 21.09 Sebastian Junge – from Hamburg’s Wolfs Junge – will be heading to Kreuzberg to take over Lode & Stijn for five courses of experimental cuisine. The same night, Lode van Zuylen and Remi Stijn will be serving up their modern seasonal dishes at Wolfs Junge. If you want to follow the Berlin pair to the Hansestadt, you might also want to make a few other reservations: Hamburg has long been a favorite among gastro connoisseurs with its honest Nordic-inspired cuisine. In fact, the city’s restaurants have been awarded seven Green Stars in the Michelin Guide – a record in Germany for sustainable fine dining.

There is plenty to enjoy back in Berlin, not least the Stadtmenü which will see 50 of the city’s restaurants serving special climate-friendly menus. Among them is the locally-sourced brunch from Frühstück 3000 and a hearty vegetarian three-course meal at the revived Clärchens Ballhaus. Don’t miss the House of Food at Bikini Berlin where you can sample the likes of Nordic Oceanfruit’s seaweed-based treats. Much like the rest of the program, they’re sustainable, experimental – and tasty.

WILLIAM FAN ARCHIVE SALE CURATED BY ZORA AUGUSTE — HAND-SELECTED FASHION PIECES, CERAMICS & MORE

WILLIAM FAN ARCHIVE SALE CURATED BY ZORA AUGUSTE — HAND-SELECTED FASHION PIECES, CERAMICS & MORE

Hand-selected – that’s what describes Zora Auguste best. In the past few years we have gotten to know and love the “gallery” concept that the fashion and design project’s founders Nella Beljan and Marie Wez have developed. Now the pair have finally found a home at a wonderful room on Leipziger Strasse which features a high concrete ceiling that is well suited to their carefully curated selection of pieces. What can you expect? Ceramics (both as art and as design objects), table lamps, candles that look like light sculptures, and metallic book stands that wouldn’t look out of place on the desk of Walter Gropius. You’ll also find interior pieces courtesy of William Fan, who acquired them from his Hong Kong-born mother. But that’s not the main reason the Berlin designer is there.

The venue will also welcome garments from William’s current fashion collection plus archive pieces that Nella and Marie have selected to match the Zora Auguste vibe. Expect a color palette of off-whites, beiges, caramels and navy. There are beautiful blouses in fine fabrics with unexpected details, wide-cut trousers, ensembles and some real statement pieces including a long sequin dress. Sophisticated, refined and yet laid-back is the spirit that William’s clothes – and the whole collection – convey. There’s another reason to visit, though: the archive sale’s special pricing. A good time to start your own collection, we think.
